It helped Pac more so than Floyd imo. Everyone has always hated Floyd... Nothing new. He was a big name by then. More people learned about Pac though. People could barely spell his name up until then lol

But they were destined to be superstars, just needed some one to trigger it.

It's like when you are born with a genetic problem that is triggered by something, like stress. You are destined to have it, you just need something to pull the trigger. Mayweather and Pacquiao were stars who needed to be put on stage and Oscar did that.

You didn't see Mosley becoming a million-PPV-A-side fighter, or Hopkins, or any one else. It was only Mayweather and Pacquiao.
